Question

Geyan is telling a story to a group of friends but many elements of the story seem out of place and the plot is difficult to follow. Consequently, the story is ineffective. According to Walter Fisher, what criteria of a good story is lacking? a. Fidelity b. Interpretation c. Coherence d. Organization

Answer 1

Answer:

c. Coherence.

Explanation:

According to Walter Fisher, the criteria of a good story that it is lacking is coherence. According to Walter Fisher, a professor, human beings are storytellers or storytelling animals. We perceive our lives as a long narrative, and a story has to be coherent to be believed. If the elements of the story that Geyan is telling seem to be out of place and the plot is difficult to follow it is unlikely that it will  make sense to us. We will think the story is ineffective because it is lacking coherence.
